Using the TV’s Features

Digital or Analog TV Channels

A single off-air antenna can pick up both analog and digital channels. Digital channels can be made up of primary channels and subchannels.

Note: Subchannels (sometimes called minor channels) are channels associated with the Primary channel (sometimes called the major channel). A primary channel may have just one subchannel or multiple subchannels.

Tip:

Use the channel banner to determine whether a channel is digital or analog. A digital (ATSC or QAM) channel has a dash and second number after it (e.g., 21-1); an analog channel (NTSC) doesn’t (e.g., Ch 21).

Tip

If a digital and analog channel have the same primary channel number, tune to the analog channel by enter- ing the analog channel number or entering the analog channel number and then a subchannel of “0.”

1.Make sure the remote is in TV mode by pressing TV on the remote control.

2.Enter the primary channel number. This number appears in the primary channel entry box. Press OK or wait a few seconds. If you don’t enter a subchannel, the TV tunes to the lowest digital subchannel.

3.If the primary channel number has fewer than six digits (for cable), or two digits (for antenna) and you want to enter subchannel numbers, press the right arrow button to advance to the subchannel entry box.

4.Enter the number of the subchannel. This number appears in the subchannel entry box.

5.Press OK to tune to the channel or wait a few seconds and the TV tunes to the channel.

Notes: You can always use the channel up and down buttons on the remote control to change channels within the TV mode.

If you wait too long before entering the subchannel, the TV tunes to the lowest digital subchannel.
